Featured here, Chassis #393377 was sold new via Japanese exotic car dealer, Art Sports, the Porsche’s first private owner was Seigo Tanabe, proprietor of Shelby Asia Inc., an authorized importer of Shelby American and Superformance cars based in Yokohama, Japan. During his ownership, the GT2R was never raced competitively and was instead used carefully for private track events.
It was then sold on to its first American collector owner in 2013, and resided in a private collection that included a road-going 993 GT2, among other significant Porsches. Aside from its appearance at Rennsport Reunion V in September 2015, the GT2R had not been shown or campaigned on track. Consistent with its limited use, the odometer showed just 5,381 km in 2022. Trading hands that same year, it was acquired by another meticulous collector owner who has preserved the condition and kept the car with a known Porsche racing team for continued servicing. Today with just 5386km shown on the odometer, as would be expected of such a well-kept, low-mileage example, this GT2R presents in exceptional, show-quality condition. Its factory-supplied components, including the Premier fuel cell, Fox fire suppression system, and Matter roll cage, remain in place and many components display appropriate 1994 and 1995 date codes.
